COELINGH BENNINK, H. J. T. and MENGE, A. C. (1974): Spermatozoa1 antibodies in cervical mucus. Europ. .I. Obstet. Gynec. reprod. Biol., 414, 147-l 52. The indirect immunofluorescent technique performed on spermatozoa provides a suitable method for detecting spermatozoa1 antibodies in cervical mucus. Blood sera and preovulatory cervical mucus samples from I3 women with infertility of unknown origin were tested extensively with this technique. Spermatozoa1 antibodies in cervical mucus were detected in 3 out of 13 patients. The specificity of these antibodies was shown to be IgA in two cases and IgG in the third case. One IgA antibody was also present in the blood serum of this particular patient, however in a low titer (1:4). Blood serum from the patient with an IgG antibody in cervical mucus contained the same antibody in a high titer (1:64). The results werecompared to the concentration of immunoglobulins in cervical mucus. In view of present knowledge our data are consistent with the following theories about circulating spermatozoa1 antibodies. IgA antibodies result from local immunization in the femalegenital tract and may leak to the general circulation. IgG and IgM antibodies result mainly from general immunization. IgG antibodies may diffuse to female genital tract secretions when present in a sufficiently high concentration. IgM antibodies are rarely found in the female reproductive tract.

Clomiphene citrate (CC) has an adverse effect on the quality and quantity of cervical mucus (CM). Poor cervical mucus has been reported in 15% of CC-treated women. CC exhibits estrogen agonist and antagonist activities. Antiestrogenic activity affecting the endocervical glands is theorized to cause a decrease in cervical mucus quality and quantity. An experimental study was performed to as...

Molecular Characterization of Sperm Antigens with In Vivo Developed Antisperm Antibodies in Variably Inseminated Cross Bred-Heifers/Cows

Molecular characterization of sperm proteins and their immunoreactions to sera from subfertile/infertile animals may give deeper insight to the immunological reason of infertility. The purpose of this study was to characterize antigenic sperm proteins by reacting with blood serum and cervical mucus of variably inseminated heifers/cows using immunoblotting and immunofluorescence techniques. Immu...

The present study was carried out to characterize the cervical mucus (CM) collected when inseminating Holstein cows and to relate the secretion pattern with pregnancy. The mucus was collected from mid-cervix of 64 cows with spontaneus estrus (SE) and induced estrus (IE). The quantity, pattern and consistency of the mucus, pH, arborization patterns and the sperm motility were observed. The level...
